Artificial Intelligence School to Open in Fez

With artificial intelligence expected to generate more than 2.3 million jobs by 2020, Morocco has begun to prepare its students for the future by opening a school dedicated to AI training. Rabat – As technology continues to be central in the world's vision for the future, the development of artificial intelligence (AI), the simulation of human intelligence by computers and machines, has become an increasingly important field in science. Meanwhile, Morocco, along with the rest of Africa, has largely failed to capitalize on this demand for AI research and development. However, all of this will change in the future, with the opening of a new school dedicated towards AI in Fez. In September, the Euromed University of Fez (UEMF) will open its doors to the Euromed School of Digital Engineering and Artificial Intelligence (EIDIA), a brand new center dedicated towards AI research, development, and education.
